Questions about CLFD

What people ask.

Why is CLFD on Broken Stocks?

CLFD qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -42.8% from its rolling 252-day high of $52.73, set on 2026-05-27 — 55d ago.

Is CLFD a falling knife?

By the most common technical definition — a steep, recent breakdown from a fresh high — yes. CLFD is down -42.8% from its 52-week high of $52.73, set 55d ago. That combination of depth (past the 30% Amber threshold) and recency (high set inside the last 120 days) is the textbook falling-knife pattern. Whether to try to catch it is a separate question — historically most attempts to bottom-pick continue lower before reversing. Broken Stocks flags the pattern; it does not recommend buying or selling.

Is CLFD a buy?

Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.

Where is CLFD trading inside its 52-week range?

At $32.07, CLFD sits 28.7% of the way from its 52-week low ($23.76) to its 52-week high ($52.73). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.

How fast has CLFD been declining?

The current 42.8% decline accrued over 55d, which annualizes to roughly -284.0% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.

How does CLFD compare to its sector?

There are 226 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 137 Red, 55 Amber, 34 Watch, with 92 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -39.5% — CLFD's decline is deeper than the sector median.

Does CLFD's earnings date affect its tier?

No. Tiering is decided purely by decline depth and recency of the rolling-high date. The earnings date on file (2026-05-06) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
